The official patter:
"Abigail Von Normal, nonperky, mysterious teen queen of the San Francisco night scene and backup mistress of Tommy, the unintentional Vampire is back to lead you through the 3rd book in the San Francisco Vampire trilogy. Learn what happens to Tommy, Jody, the Vampire Flood, Chet the Enormous Cat, The Smurfette, the Animals, and all your other favorites!"
I have yet to get around to this series, but seeing as it combines one of my favorite cities, San Francisco, and my love of Vampires, not to mention Chrisopher Moore's biting (haha) wit, I'm sure I'll love it. Plus, seeing as he's on tour while I'm on spring break... I might just head on over to Milwaukee and check this out for myself... maybe I'll see you there?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve HockensmithPublished by: Quirk

The official patter:
"With more than one million copies in print, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was the surprise publishing phenomenon of 2009. A best seller on three continents, PPZ has been translated into 21 languages and optioned to become a major motion picture.
In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth-century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naïve young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she begins her first clumsy training with nunchucks and katana swords and cry when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead!"
Ok, so I admit, I still haven't finished slogging my way through Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's just not my thing. I thought it would be, but it wasn't able to strike out on it's own enough and just bastardized what was there. Good news though for haters of the original, apparently this one is good! Maybe not being belaboured with the original plot has let this thankfully new writer be uninhibited and break free and make something fun. So I think I might just give this a try.
The first book Blood Sucking Fiends is laugh out loud funny! Reading about Tommy learning about sex from Cosmo is priceless! The second is not as funny, I can only hope the third is as funny as the first. Lamb is my favorite. What is yours?

I would have to second the vote from Lamb. Though I'm always up for some new vamps.
